I assume you want a connection directly from your home to the office? 
If so, you have to be close enough and then you'd need a DSLAM that 
you'd connect the copper pair to.  However, if you're going through all 
that trouble, you might want to consider SHDSL instead, which will give 
you symmetrical bandwidth.  It usually also use multiple pairs for 
increased bandwidth.  Another way is to use short hop microwave, 
assuming you have line of sight between the two locations.  There is 
some unlicensed equipment available that can give you up to 18 Mb/s of 
ethernet traffic, for a bit over $1000 per end, plus installation.
